Waynesboro man charged with aiding illegal use of debit card

CHAMBERSBURG >> A Waynesboro man is expected in court Tuesday, to face charges after police said he aided an unidentified juvenile in using his parent's debit card for several hundred dollars of illegal purchases.

Chad Nelson Roberts, 22, is charged with three counts of access device fraud and one count of corruption of minors, all misdemeanor charges.

According to court documents, Roberts, the juvenile and an unidentified girl went to Tobacco Outlet, Waynesboro Food and Fuel and a Redbox unit to make $373.99 in fraudulent purchases.

The clerk at Tobacco Outlet confiscated the debit card being used after the group appeared for the second time between May 13-14, 2015, according to court documents. During the first trip, the group bought two vapes and some juice for the vapes.

The juvenile told police that the vapes were then given to Roberts in exchange for marijuana.

Between trips to the smoke shop, the group went to the Waynesboro Food and Fuel and bought cigarettes and soda.

When police spoke with the clerk of the Tobacco Outlet, he said the boys told police that they had the cardholder's permission to use it and signed her signature on the receipts. The clerk was able to describe the group to police and said he was very suspicious of the group. After confiscating the card, he told them that the cardholder had to come to the store to pick it up.

The group spent $223.59 at the Tobacco Outlet, $75.20 at the Waynesboro Food and Fuel, and $57.24 at the Redbox console, investigators confirmed with Susquehanna Bank.
